Fuel Pump: Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Lexus RX 350. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

INSPECT FUEL PUMP
1. Inspect fuel pump resistance.
  1. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the terminals.
    Standard resistance:
    
    0.2 to 3.0 Ω at 20°C (68°F)

2. Inspect fuel pump operation.
  1. Apply battery voltage to both the terminals. Check that the pump operates.
    NOTE:
    These tests must be done quickly (within 10 seconds) to prevent damage to the pump.
    
    Keep the fuel pump as far away from the battery as possible.
    
    Always switch at the battery side.
